AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights a critical examination of modern technology's focus on efficiency, productivity, and enhancement of human capabilities through advancements like cloning and automation. It raises concerns about whether these technological developments lead to a diminished capacity for physical and mental resilience in humans. The argument suggests that while technology aims to improve human life and capabilities, it may also create challenges that humanity struggles to adapt to. Furthermore, it posits that technology could potentially circumvent natural evolutionary processes, questioning the validity of traditional concepts of natural selection in the context of rapid technological progress.

Technology today is so focused on efficieny, proficiency and producivity. Cloning to create better humans, faster transportation, longer work-days and computerised everyday experience. Is it worth it?

For anyone who believes in evolution: Have you created machines that we ourselves cannot live with due to lack of physical and mental strength?

Technology is so concentrated on grace and human prosperity - in the form of machinery and ability to do as much as possible, as soon as possible. And the limits of possibility is constantly altered.

I think technology will enable us to by pass the normal path of natural selection/mutation for humans (so far) so I am not sure the question is valid.

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
i am customizing a Linux distro [arch] into love os which I am building to impress my crush. I had an idea to integrate an ai model into the Linux system so it can speak like me but romantically. but I don't know what or how to do. I don't know the basic concept of Linux but yet I am customizing my os purely relying on chat gpt and perplexity. when i ask chat gpt about this it said to fine tune an ai model and integrate to the Linux distro and my friend said for the data to be fed to the ai...
